Great experience, the guide Lucas showed us in detail everything important about Beijing with great kindness and helpfulness. It doesn't feel heavy at all, he tells you everything with great wit so that you find it interesting and don't get bored. The food is very good, it surprised us.
Phenomenal! The sites we visited were fantastic and the guide, Jazmín, was very attentive, kind, and helpful at all times. She made the experience even more special. Excellent service and a wonderful experience!
The places are wonderful and the tour guide Sonia is is an excellent guide with care and patience. She gives you all kind of details on the places and culture and she is very sweet and caring. I would recommend to take this tour again
Great day in the company of our guide Xia The Forbidden City was well explained to us, as was the Temple of Heaven. The only downside was too many people and an endless line for Tiananmen Square, which we had to skip and only saw from the car window. XXL meal of very high quality. A little extra, Xia took us to the circus to end this day. A must-do
This was a fabulous 1 day tour of the most famous sites of central Bejing. Our English speaking guide (ask for Herbie) was super informative on all the historic sites and very freindly. The lunch was more like a banquet of delicious Chinese foods. The Peaking duck was superb. I would thoroughly recommend this tour for all first time visitors to Bejing especially if you can get Herbie who will make the day one to remember.
Erica was our fantastic tour guide. She spoke english great, no problem with communication. Erica was a very knowledgeable guide and we learned a lot from her about the history of the Forbidden City and tempke of heaven ! We had a good lunch that day as well, and Erica took great care of us to make sure we had a very comfortable and fun experience. I would book the tour if I come to Beijing again. Thanks again.
It was very good the guide calls Herbie, and be very funny and cool in all the day, he took me a lot of nice pictures, he explained to me very good all the details in every important place, I learned a lot
Cathy made our experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we met her, it was clear we weren’t just getting a guide—we were getting true VIP treatment. Every detail felt thoughtfully handled, from seamless logistics to those small touches that make you feel like a priority rather than just another booking. Her hospitality was on another level. Cathy has that rare ability to anticipate what you need before you even ask, and she made us feel genuinely welcomed the entire time. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by someone who truly cares about your experience. What really set her apart, though, was her depth of knowledge. Cathy’s understanding of Chinese history is incredibly impressive—she didn’t just recite facts, she brought stories to life. You could tell she’s passionate, and it made every stop far more meaningful and engaging. On top of that, her English was excellent—clear, natural, and easy to follow—which made everything smooth and enjoyable without any communication barriers. If you’re considering a guide, stop looking. Cathy is the one you want. She elevates the entire experience from good to exceptional.
Phenomenal experience! Cathy was so friendly and very knowledgeable in ancient Chinese history! Definitely would book with her again! She took amazing photos for us the entire time and made sure we had a once in a lifetime experience.
